The two speak candidly, teen to teen, and the end result is a gorgeous conversation that dives into all aspects of Jazz's life. And the activist and author — her second book will be out later this year! — makes an outstanding point about being a transgender teen: that's just one part of her identity.

"[People ask], ‘How does it feel to be transgender?’ or, ‘Why do you think this way?’ – blah, blah, blah! All these questions," she told Rowan. "And I tell them, ‘You know, I’m not just a transgender individual, I’m also Jazz.’ I’m a soccer player, I’m an artist, I love to be creative. I am a representative in my class office. I’m on the varsity soccer team, I am going to do tennis later in the year. I’m in the Gay-Straight Alliance and the Jewish Student Connection, as well…"

The two go on to talk about a lot of the other things that make Jazz who she is, like mermaids, Stanley Kubrick movies, and looking up to Laverne Cox as a "possibility model."

"We have Caitlyn Jenner, Laverne Cox, Janet Mock…they’re such inspirations for trans individuals," Jazz explained. "But I tend not to have role models – just because I like some of the things that a person does, I don’t necessarily want to be them."
